へき地における食生活実態研究 (第3報)

抄録

We investigated actual conditions of dietary life in isolated islands in Kagoshima Prefecture in 1963, and at that time we instructed the housewives in the area to take more nutritious food. When we made the second investigation in 1966, we found a little improvement in their dietary life, and so we undertook nutritive guidance again. In 1970 we made the third investigation. The result showed, as compared with the first and second survey, a favorable increase of the intake of all the nutritive elements except vitamin B₁. Comparing it with the average value of nutritive requirement of the people in the area, the percentages of sufficiency in each element were follows: vitamin A 53%, calcium 63%, vitamin B₂ 84%, calorie 93%; and protein, vitamin C, vitamin B₁, and iron were over 100%. We also made investigations about the working time of housewives, their views for the meals, conditions of domestic equipments, hygiene, income, etc.: the result showed a good tendency compared with the survey in 1963.
